The USAF have put B-52s on standby to provide air support to the Seventh Fleet, who are expected to launch a shock attack on the liferaft including Tomahawk cruise missiles, a combined amphibious assault and the imposition of a 'freedom Government' on the liferaft once the operation is complete.

The time had clearly come … I walked down the ship's side, jumped the last two feet into the water and swam to a liferaft about 20 yards away where I was pulled in … by someone with a cheerful smile who said: 'There you are, sir, it worked.'

Indeed the only people who still seemed cheerful by the end of the day were Timo Soininen (Habbo Hotel) and Omar Hamoui (AdMob) both of whom have startups with solid business models in ‘liferaft’ markets.
